[31:20]
See ye not how Allah hath made serviceable unto
you whatsoever is in the skies and whatsoever is in the earth and hath loaded
you with His favours both without and within ? Yet of
mankind is he who disputeth concerning Allah, without knowledge or guidance or
a scripture giving light.
[31:21]
And if it be said unto them: Follow that which
Allah hath revealed, they say: Nay, but we follow that wherein we found our
fathers. What! Even though the devil were inviting them unto the doom of flame ?
[31:22]
Whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah
while doing good, he verily hath grasped the firm
hand-hold. Unto Allah belongeth the sequel of all things.
[31:23]
And whosoever disbelieveth,
let not his disbelief afflict thee (O Muhammad). Unto Us
is their return, and We shall tell them what they did. Lo! Allah is Aware of
what is in the breasts (of men).
[31:24]
We give them comfort for a little, and then We drive them to a heavy doom.
[31:25]
If thou shouldst ask them: Who created the
heavens and the earth ? they
would answer: Allah. Say: Praise be to Allah! But most
of them know not.
[31:26]
Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the
heavens and the earth. Lo! Allah, He is the Absolute, the
Owner of Praise.
[31:27]
And if all the trees in the earth were pens, and
the sea, with seven more seas to help it, (were ink), the words of Allah could
not be exhausted. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Wise.
[31:28]
Your creation and your raising (from the dead)
are only as (the creation and the raising of) a single soul. Lo! Allah is
Hearer, Knower.
